At the recent Southern Baptist Convention, a significant decision was made regarding same-sex marriage. Delegates voted to support the overturning of Obergefell v. Hodges, the Supreme Court ruling that legalized same-sex marriage in the United States. This move reflects a broader push among some religious groups to reaffirm traditional views on marriage.
The discussion around this measure was highlighted in the latest episode of the Spectator P.M. Podcast, hosted by Ellie Gardey Holmes and Lyrah Margo. They emphasized the importance of Christian engagement in politics and the implications of the Southern Baptists’ decision. The hosts also touched on other issues within the church, including the role of women in pastoral positions.
This vote is part of a larger trend among certain religious communities to take a stand on social issues, particularly those that align with their beliefs about family and marriage. The Southern Baptist Convention, known for its conservative stance, aims to influence the cultural conversation around these topics.
Listeners of the podcast can hear more about the significance of this vote and its impact on Christian political activism. The hosts encourage their audience to consider the role of faith in shaping political views and actions.
